Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. CARSON, Ciaran. For all We Know. Oldcastle, County Meath: The Gallery Press 2008. Fine in dj. Note: Shortlisted for both the 2008 T. S. Eliot Prize and the Costa Poetry Award. Shortly after a man and a woman meet for the first time in a second-hand clothes shop in Belfast, a bomb goes off. It is some time in the 1970s. They become lovers. For All We Know is their story, told in the recent past: a meditation on love, place, memory, loss and language, how people know each other, misunderstand each other, or translate each other, not to mention the events and circumstances which are beyond their control.

In its uncanny music, repercussions and reprises, its mysterious unfolding of what happened or what might have been in Paris and Dresden (or was it Berlin?), For All We Know is a sequence of poems like nothing you've ever read before. 'The collection is in two carefully arranged halves, the poems mirroring each other, conversing back and forth. The way the narrative is presented is subtle and enthralling, built up of a series of recurring events, of moments that are continually being retold "You know how you know when someone's telling lies? you said. They / get their story right every time, down to the last word. // Whereas when they tell the truth it's never the same twice. They / reformulate".' Charles Bainbridge, The Guardian.…
